Also dislike it when the 'hype' text is very misleading on the boxcover.
Example 'all anal', only to find that barely half the scenes have it.

| Den Member 911 Posts 9/02 |  Posted - Sep 22 2002 : 9:32AMDoes it bother you when the Boxcover doesn't match the movie? I am not talking about the 2 and 4 hour compilation tapes. Recent example is Anal Excursions #1 that says Ashley Blue is in it and it ends up being Ashley Long. [Link] |

| Michael Saint Photographer Alexis Texas is always lovely 1062 Posts 2/01 | Posted - Sep 22 2002 : 2:14PM Believe it or not most of the industry has gotten a lot better about this. It wasn't that long ago that you could find a box for the "Devil in Miss Jones" with a very hot blonde on the cover. Too bad she wasn't actually in the movie. Now their biggest offense is usually a boxcover girl who only has a bit part in the movie. [Link] |

| Bjones Member Adam & Eve Internet Commerce Group 30 Posts 7/02 | Posted - Sep 24 2002 : 11:19AM To me, they are invaluable pieces of information. Speaking from within a production company, I can say that more often than not, it is by accident or carelessness in the arena of quality check. With respect to boxcover art...usually the artist is given a book containing thousands of chromes. Creative freedom lets him/her choose and design the box. Problem comes when the director or someone else doesn't step up and say "hey, this girl isn't the lead person." And I am in agreement that a 4hr compilation that is only 3 hours 15 minutes is a rip-off and is true negligence on the part of the production company. I would say that give or take 5 minutes is an acceptable range of variance. Reviewers, Keep up the good work. Brian Jones [Link] |
